Roy Keane gears up for his father-of-the-bride speech following the engagement announcement from his second-eldest daughter, Caragh. The Manchester United legend recently attended his son Aidan’s wedding in October, marking another joyous family milestone.
Romantic Getaway and Ring Reveal
Caragh, a 30-year-old primary school teacher and entrepreneur, shared her excitement on Instagram Tuesday night. After a staycation in the Cotswolds with her fiancé, she posted a photo of her sparkling diamond ring, captioning it: ‘A very special trip.’
Though she has not publicly named her partner, he appears frequently in her social media posts. Caragh’s sister, Alanna, expressed her joy, commenting: ‘The best news!! So exciting!!!!!’
Caragh’s Resilience Amid Health Challenges
Caragh received a lupus diagnosis in 2021, an incurable autoimmune disease that triggers joint pain, skin rashes, and fatigue. She recounted the onset of symptoms: ‘In the summer of 2021, I developed blisters on my fingers and toes, which a dermatologist told me were chilblains. But that didn’t make any sense, given the warm weather. I was also suffering from fatigue and struggled to keep my eyes open while driving. I even fell asleep during a haircut once, which was mortifying.’
The condition forced her to decline a dream job as a primary school teacher. Caragh explained: ‘Once, when I was driving home from an interview for my dream job as a primary school teacher, my hips, knees and wrists were so painful I could barely turn the steering wheel. The role was everything I’d worked towards since graduating from the University of St Andrews, but when the headteacher called to offer it to me, I choked back tears and told him I couldn’t accept it as I wasn’t well. After that day, I crashed. My hair fell out in clumps, I was covered head to toe in blisters and too weak to get out of bed.’
Launching Superkeen Foods
In response, Caragh founded Superkeen Foods, offering organic, gut-friendly breakfast cereals designed to support those with lupus and similar conditions. She reflected: ‘When I look at it now, it’s obviously led me on this journey and I’m grateful for the food moments. With the main overarching aim of being inclusive and knowing you’re not alone, I hope I can help people. Everyone’s on their own journey but we’re all in it together.’
Caragh adopted a diet rich in whole foods, including quality meats, fish, healthy fats, vegetables, fruits, bone broth, fermented foods, and supplements. She noted improvements: ‘I started noticing my hair growing back and all my blisters started fading on my face. My joint pain subsided after a few months and then I remember think, “There are lots of people out there suffering that don’t know the healing properties of food.”‘
